Research Students

Scholarship opportunities

The Bushfire CRC (2003-2014) had outstanding postgraduate students as part of a dynamic national bushfire research program for safer communities and ecological sustainability, investigating areas such as fire behaviour, management of fire in the landscape, and the social and economic aspects of bushfires.

We sought students with strong academic records and relevant experience who were keenly interested in pursuing a PhD with a view to researching key issues for fire and land management agencies around Australia and New Zealand.

The Bushfire CRC offered postgraduate students access to:

Full Scholarships of $28,000 per annum over 3 years, and

Top Up Scholarships (for APAs and University scholarships) of $10,000 per annum over 3 years.
